As with last episode #193, Nick is joined by author, poet and sexual health nurse Kyna Reddan aka “The Poly Guru” to discuss consensual non-monogamy and the campaign for marriage equality. More specifically, we cover jealousy in non-monogamous and monogamous relationships, how polyamory works, demisexuality, polygamy and queer critiques of the campaign for marriage equality.

On this episode we discuss the Australian public voting yes to same-sex marriage in the recent postal vote. We play a talk from the yes announcement event in Melbourne, by someone from the union movement. You can listen to our recording of more of the talks from this event here.

Stick a line in it. It's religion. Correlation isn't causation and R is not =1 but there are two plausible means by which religion drives a No vote:1. Religion demonises LGB people2. Fearing loss of religious freedomsThe fuzziness is the "it's complicated". pic.twitter.com/qXVvpmrZ5A

'Should same-sex marriage be approved, the fear among radical queers is that it would become the gold standard for same-sex relationships and other relationship styles would be regarded as less worthy.' https://t.co/53jar2U9KW

This time we’re joined by Jess Ison, editor of the soon-to-be released book To the Exclusion Of All Others: Queers Questioning Gay Marriage. We’re also joined by Stevie from Team Earthling. Jess discusses the book and how she came to this position of being pro-queer but anti-same sex (and other) marriage. This includes some groups being left out of the same-sex marriage campaign, such as trans people. Brazil and Mexico both have same-sex marriage but have the most reported killings of trans people. Similarly, England and Wales have same-sex marriage and have seen a drop in homophobic crime but a rise in transphobic crime. We also discuss: the relationship between cops and queer people, the widespread support for same-sex marriage in the queer community but the growing critique from within the queer movement, Julia Gillard’s new position on same-sex marriage now she’s out of office, and the article ‘Marriage Will Never Set Us Free’ by Dean Spade & Craig Willse. We also bring you more from the ICAS conference – we play some of Curtis Redd’s talk ‘Bodies, Beats and Bashing: History Telling of Homophobic Violence’. This talk critiques the This Is Oz campaign and also makes some links between the oppression of queer people and non-human animals. You can listen to this entire talk with a Q and A with Curtis and Jess here.
